Sponsor's own description

To date, the optimal timing for pasta consumption remains uncertain. Based on recent evidence in the field of chrono-nutrition, it is speculated that eating pasta at dinner may have a negative impact on cardio-metabolic health. Carbohydrate intake during a period of minimal glucose tolerance could potentially alter the glycaemic profile and increase the risk of overweight and obesity. Conversely, other studies indicate that consuming carbohydrates at dinner may enhance sleep efficiency and quality. Thus, the aim of this study is, for the first time, to evaluate whether there are discernible differences between consuming pasta at lunch or dinner for the human health.
